As part of their coping mechanisms for navigating a Vermont winter without snow, Lisa and Lisa resort to armchair travel. This show takes advantage of Lisa LC’s knowledge of France and a few French things. Books Lisa LC recommends include: Almost French by Sarah Turnbull; Paris to the Moon by Adam Gopnick; True Pleasures by Lucinda Holdforth; The Discovery of Franceby Graham Robb; On Rue Tatain by Susan Loomis; and Instructions for Visitors by Helen Stevenson. We also added a new feature – the Book Baffler. This Bookjam’s Baffler is what book used the opening line “Ships at a distance have every man’s wish on board”? Answer: Their Eyes Were Watching Godby Zora Neale Hurston

The Book Jam is…

The view from a small town in Vermont onto the wide world of books. We're two women passionate about reading and sharing our literary discoveries. Even though we live in the woods, we can spot a great book - even through all these leaves and branches - especially with the steady stream of excellent suggestions from the indie booksellers up here in the North Country. If you've got reader's block - also known as being in a "book jam" - this blog will help. We just rest easier knowing that you have the right title on your bedside table each night. Everything we recommend has been personally read and reviewed by one of us - all the way up here in the Green Mountain State.
